SB SPACE ARL ARLS003
ARLS003 Several CubeSats with Amateur Radio Payloads Deployed from ISS

Several CubeSats carrying Amateur Radio payloads were placed into orbit on
January 16 from the International Space Station (ISS). Six CubeSats delivered
to the ISS in December were deployed from the Kibo airlock using the new JEM
Small Satellite Orbital Deployer (J-SSOD).  Information on J-SSOD can be found
on the web at, http://iss.jaxa.jp/en/kiboexp/jssod/ .

Satellites carrying Amateur Radio payloads included ITF-2, Waseda-Sat-3,
AOBA-Velox-3, and TuPOD (including Tancredo-1). University of Tsukuba designed
and built ITF-2, with a downlink of 437.525 MHz. Waseda-Sat-3, a project of
Waseda University, downlinks CW and FM telemetry on 437.29 MHz. AOBA-Velox-3
downlinks GMSK telemetry on 437.225 MHz. Tancredo-1, a Brazil middle school
project, will transmit AFSK on 437.200 MHz.

The Japan Aerospace Exploration Agency (JAXA) has posted a video on the
launches and related activities.  Further information can be found on the JAXA
website at, http://global.jaxa.jp/ .
